Question 37: "People create ideas about how they are especially chosen for heaven. Some even suggest violence to bring on the fall of the world to make way for a change where only they will be spared. What's behind this craziness?"

Kiro:

Many people try to feel superior to others,
so they can overcome their feelings of inferiority.

Some even believe that they are chosen for heaven,
while those below them are destined for hell.

This idea dwells in their minds,
but they cannot admit this.

To feel superior, they must accept
truth of claim that they are chosen.

Feelings of superiority, when extreme,
can create hatred, violence, and war.

To correct this dangerous tendency, people would
be wise to balance superiority and inferiority.

Between superiority and inferiority,
they would discover their real size.

Real size is not too big and not too little,
but medium size.

If human beings embraced medium as real size,
they would quit spinning tales of superiority.

Unable to believe they are superior, they would be
less likely to condemn and hurt others.

Tolerance, peace, and goodwill would bloom
to make good life for everyone.
